Once the Baal Shem Tov (or, the Besht) summoned Sammael, the lord of demons, because of some important matter that he wished to command Sammael to do. Sammael roared at the Besht – “How dare you summon me! Up until now this has happened to me only three times; in the hour when the Tree of Knowledge was violated, the hour when the Israelites created the golden calf, and the hour when Jerusalem was destroyed.”
The Besht bade his disciples to bare their foreheads to Sammael, and on every forehead, the lord of demons saw inscribed the sign of the image in which God creates the human being.
Upon that, Sammael did as the Besht requested, but before leaving on his mission, he said humbly and beseechingly: “Oh Sons of the living God: permit me to stay here just a little longer and gaze upon your foreheads.” (Tales of the Hasidim, by Martin Buber – p. 77)
Imagine the world if every human being were aware every time he/she looked upon another human being of what is inscribed on our foreheads – B’tzelem Elohim – that each of us, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, race, religion, ethnicity or nationality is created in God’s image! There would be no “other!”
My friend Alex Grossman applied this principle of sameness to his post concerning the social media and the growing tendency to self-censor because of the fear of personal attack. It is worth reading as well as his first response to a reader.

Interesting approach and teaching, thank you for sharing and for including a link to my piece published today. One question a friend raised was that those who need to read this either won’t or, if they do, won’t understand the thrust of the argument that it’s up to us as individuals, not a group, not an agency, not a government, to take responsibility and work to improve communication among people. But I remain an optimist and believe there is value in putting the proposition out there for self reliance and individual effort to make things better. There will always be differences (vive la différence!!!!), but with increased understanding we can hopefully avoid the more violent repercussions (physical, emotional and psychological) of such differences.
